What our sensors tell us about
"Running" / Use of Trolley
When moving a ULD, it can be tempting to pull the trolley rather than push.
However by pushing you can avoid back twisting which allows you to spread the load evenly through both arms.
It also allows for a smoother motion; cutting out jerky movements.


- Pulling
- Twisting back to enable pull
- Using one arm


- Pushing
- Straight back
- Both arms
EMP Sensor Observations
Sensor observations are a highly accurate and objective way of measuring risk during manual handling tasks. By using the correct movement you will help reduce stress and strain on your back, shoulders and neck.
Task Risk Scale
With sensor observations, we measure relative task risk.
